Separation into two sub-packages: Toolchain Tagging and Model Database

== Model Database ==

One entry in the model DB contains:
 * unique tag, analog to arXiv: moDel:1003.0123
 * title
 * author list
 * free text abstract
 * a classification of the model. Should not be hierarchical, since this makes multiple attachments hard. Options are
   * entirely free tagging
   * choice from a pre-set list of tags
 * model description in terms of the (versioned) input file for a specific (versioned) package
 * list of validations that have been performed. 
   * This format is described on page ????
 * Thumbnails of plots of MC comparisons, including the tool chain ID that was used to make them
 * pointer to the main arXiv paper
 * pointers to downstream papers
 * a "supersedes moDel:0909.3210" entry
 * a sharing licence (maybe pre-defined such that only models adhering to a certain licence can enter)



features of the interaction:
 * allow for a 24h period for corrections at initial upload
 * authority to modify entries lies with author 
   * author can grant modification rights to validators
   * author can relinquish access rights
   * automatic opening after a time limit / max idle time?
 * a system for citation handling?
